More likely you'll be scared of Percy!

Try the tall gentleman on the Trinity Road. I could do with the money. Just had my accountant's and my corporation tax bill. Happy bloody New Year, HMRC.

Almost certainly.

And a quick opinion-seeking. Glossy paper or no?

Personally I'm not a fan of the glossy paper.
Whatever drives the price of  a subscription down is cool by me !

I think the glossy paper's alright to be honest, gives it a bit more of a professional feel which might sell it better to one-time buyers. Either's fine by me, to be honest; it's the words on the page that matters I suppose.

Either is fine by me reading wise. As Chipsticks said, glossy probably looks nicer to one off buyers whereas I'm more interested in how cheap it is!

Glossy paper and an increase in publication frequency...blimey, is there a go-getting new boss in charge at H&V Towers?

I write regularly for it. That should knock the price of a subscription down a bit.

And frank was very enthusiastic about mentioning jon and I Regarding vienna away and was most disappointed to find we'd been replaced' by 'some other villa away fans' (or something like that). Not that it matters.

I like the gloss treatment.
I should have bought 5 copies as it would have been easier to carry those than the change Legion gave me!

An excellent read as usual. The glossy paper does make it look more professional but as others have said it';s the words on the paper that are more important.
When I got to the piece 'Standing room only' it gave me a bit of a shock as I've been working on a similar article for a future issue.
Have you been rummaging around in my hard drive Mr. Woodhall? :)
